The Modernist outsider "The essence of the artistic design in building – like all art – indeed provides meaning for man’s existence and in itself it confirmes its result that became form." - Hans Scharoun German architect Hans Scharoun (1893-1972) studied and practiced architecture his entire adult life but did not build a major building until 1963 when his impressive Berlin Philharmonie finally came to life. The fact that he stayed in Germany during the Second World War prevented him from realizing grandiose projects and caused him to concentrate more on interiors than exteriors for many years. Nevertheless, Scharoun`s sculptural designs, influenced by the expressionist-utopian circle "Gläserne Kette" of which he was a member, did not go unnoticed and were among the best of his generation.

Avec son sens du détail autant que de l'ensemble, Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841) s'est fait connaître comme architecte et urbaniste, mais aussi comme peintre et comme concepteur de meubles et de décors de théâtre. Son travail fut tant admiré par le roi Frédéric-Guillaume III que Schinkel devint l'architecte officiel de la Prusse et oeuvra comme tel durant presque toute sa carrière, bâtissant les grands monuments de Berlin, y compris le Schauspielhaus et le Altes Museum. La plupart des oeuvres les plus célèbres de Schinkel sont de style néo-classique, plus proches des canons de la Grèce antique que de ceux de la Rome impériale. Schinkel adopte ensuite une esthétique néo-gothique, comme en témoignent les fenêtres élancées et la nef en enfilade de l'église de Friedrichswerder à Berlin. Puis Schinkel choisit une façade en briques rouges, inhabituellement profilée pour l'Académie d'architecture, aujourd'hui considérée comme un édifice annonciateur du modernisme. Élevé au rang de génie par ses contemporains, Schinkel se voit traité avec les mêmes égards par TASCHEN dans cette présentation richement illustrée, qui aborde l'ensemble de son oeuvre et son inlassable engagement au service de la beauté de la forme et de la fonction. À propos de la collection Chaque volume de la Basic Architecture Series de TASCHEN contient: en introduction, des textes qui explorent l'origine, la vie et l'oeuvre de l'architecte ses réalisations majeures, présentées dans l'ordre chronologique des informations sur les commanditaires, les conditions architectoniques préalables ainsi que les problèmes de construction rencontrés et les solutions qui leur ont été apportées une liste de toutes les réalisations sélectionnées et une carte sur laquelle sont indiquées les constructions les plus célèbres de l'architecte environ 120 illustrations (photographies, esquisses, dessins et plans)

Architecture

A duty to beauty: Building landmarks for Berlin and beyondWith an eye for detail as much as expanse, Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841) made his name as an architect and urban planner, a painter, and as a designer of both furniture and stage sets. His work was so admired by King Frederick William III that Schinkel acted as state architect of Prussia for nearly his entire career, creating major landmarks in Berlin, including the National Theatre and the Altes Museum.Much of Schinkel’s most famous work adopted Neo-Classical aesthetics, drawing upon Ancient Greek paradigms rather than those of Imperial Rome. He would subsequently turn to a Neo-Gothic style, as seen in the elegant windows and soaring nave of Berlin’s Friedrichswerder Church. Later, Schinkel would adopt an unusually streamlined, red brick façade in the Academy of Architecture, now considered a forerunner of modern architecture.Considered a genius by contemporaries, Schinkel now gets the TASCHEN treatment with this richly illustrated introduction to his expansive œuvre and commitment to beautiful form and function.About the series:Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture series features:  an introduction to the life and work of the architect  the major works in chronological order  information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions  a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings  approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts and plans)
